I thought about retiring from the board quite a bit this past year.

2005 was when I really started getting engaged with you guys, especially over the summer - I thought that making my exit 10 years afterwards would be a bit romantic. I'm really gay like that on the inside.

But I changed my mind, and I'm going in the other direction - I think this is an awesome place and I'm reviving the EBA brand.

My intention is to start pumping MS Paint excellence onto the board as soon as possible and to engage in spritely, meaningful conversations with the community on a daily basis.

If anybody has any thoughts or feelings about this announcement please feel free to sound off - either below in sequential text box "posts", or via the PM messaging system.

Abyss,

-EBA

I appreciate your e-presence very deeply, both from an entirely selfish perspective and because you contribute so much to a virtual space that I care about so deeply. super happy to hear a formal thingy saying you're not auto-baleting.

Now, Ive been a legend since the early days of this board. I think my input here may hold some more weight than some of the lesser known guys or even these guys who think changing their name is a good idea....which is not....you automatically lose your legacy. Now bringing back a name......I can get behind that....as long as the name being brought back adds a nostagia or good content. This EBA thing seems like it will be acceptable to me. I grant permission.

Ehrmagehrd, renaissance.

And for the record, the name changing is still my #1 pet peeve on this board. Especially because it always seems like I'm the only one who doesn't somehow automatically see through it. Nick coming back under a new name? Didn't realize that until the migrant crisis thread. And I'm still mystified as to who FBTS and copstache are, because I remember them exactly to the point where they suddenly appeared and everyone knew who they were.

on that stopgap board that existed before this one, I was edgily "Necr°meter" :wank:

and then for like a year around the Tigerclaw era I was "Nose" for some reason. That was a pretty successful undercover operation until I hated sports too hard and Gunther instantly outed me.

another noteworthy happening in name gimmickry were the two "round robin" events, during which ~8 posters exchanged accounts. this had "me" starting a whole thread about hot tattooed chicks are :tdown:

i prefer this foggy impersonal post-mdf era myself. i wish there some different idiots to laugh at and a couple more eccentric people but this current incarnation still makes a lot of sense to me and im grateful for it :)

i only changed names because i got positively sick of seeing those same sequence of words as a name for as long as i did.

Huh.

Well, I was basically constantly drunk from 2000-2004, so I guess maybe that splains that.
